Judge overseeing Trump's Georgia election case pushes hearings back to February amid Fani Willis scandal

Fulton County D.A. Fani Willis' Georgia election interference case against former President Donald Trump is on life support amid explosive allegations that she conducted an inappropriate relationship with one of her prosecutors and that she financially benefited from prosecuting Trump.

In light of the allegations, Fulton County Judge Scott McAfee announced that a hearing on the allegations would be held in early February at the earliest.

This likely will result in further delays, if not an outright dismissal of the case, as authorities investigate the allegations against Willis and prosecutor Nathan Wade.

Judge McAfee stated on Friday, "So obviously my plan with this was to allow the state an opportunity to respond before setting a hearing date. Early February would be the soonest that would happen."

This announcement came after the House Judiciary Committee announced it was launching its own investigation into Willis and the allegations against her.

Willis's case has long been seen as a political hit job designed to stop Trump's presidential campaign. Now that case is in serious danger of being completely dismissed, and Willis could lose her career.
